Julian Edelman (knee) was a limited participant during OTAs Tuesday.

Edelman did not participate during team drills, but he did do some individual work and fielded punts. Recovering from an August ACL tear, the Patriots will likely ease Edelman through the offseason program, but he should be ready to go at or near the beginning of training camp. May 22 - 12:59 PM

Edelman is five months removed from September ACL surgery. He'll sit out OTAs and likely be limited early in training camp, but the Patriots are counting on him to be fully healthy for Week 1. Signed through 2019, Edelman should return as one of Tom Brady's top targets. Feb 10 - 2:41 PM

Per Reiss, "everything went as planned." Edelman obviously won't play this season but if all goes well in his recovery, he should be back for the start of next year. The veteran slot receiver turned 31 in May. Sun, Oct 1, 2017 08:40:00 AM

MMQB's Albert Breer reports an MRI confirmed Julian Edelman has a "complete ACL tear in his right knee."

This will knock Edelman out for the entire 2017 season. Brandin Cooks and Chris Hogan are likely to see the biggest increase in targets, but Danny Amendola potentially could play more snaps while Rex Burkhead could see some time in the slot. Turning 32 next May, Edelman is not guaranteed a speedy recovery. With no more guaranteed money left on his deal, it is not inconceivable the Patriots decide to move on.

Edelman did not participate during team drills, but he did do some individual work and fielded punts. Recovering from an August ACL tear, the Patriots will likely ease Edelman through the offseason program, but he should be ready to go at or near the beginning of training camp.

Matthews can earn another $700,000 via incentives. This is the definition of a prove-it deal for a player coming off an injury-marred campaign, and the lack of guaranteed money means Matthews is not a lock to make the final roster. If his health cooperates, however, Matthews has the talent to be a real factor both for the Patriots and in fantasy. He will be an interesting name to track this summer.

Brown primarily played right tackle with the 49ers since Joe Staley was the team's regular left tackle. With Nate Solder gone in free agency, Brown will likely start on Tom Brady's blindside, leaving Marcus Cannon as the team's primary right tackle. Patriots first-round pick Isaiah Wynn played tackle in college but is expected to move to guard, competing with incumbent LG Joe Thuney.

The surgery is reportedly minor and will not affect his availability for the regular season, but he will sit out the offseason program and could be limited in training camp. A third-round pick in 2016, Thuney has been a mainstay at left guard for New England since entering the league. With big questions at left tackle, the Patriots need Thuney to be healthy.
